I have a young cock here from Buster 265 Blue Chequer. He is quite a character and follows me around wanting peanuts. He had all 8 races. He was steady from all except the second to last one, the hot weekend which was a tuff race. He was walking around the garden next morning when I got up. Form last weeks race he was again on the day. He seemed fine for a couple of days but has gone downhill a bit since. He still comes out for a fly but has lost a bit of weight over the last few days. His throat is clear but his eyes have lost a bit of brightness. He is eating but not as keenly as I would like. I do hope he picks up soon as I do like him.

That's a worry, Andy.
How are his droppings? He might have picked up something in the race hamper.

got a hen gone light given it one tablet looks a lot better

Hope he recovers Andy, as Murray says may have picked something up from last race, I would keep him in and separate if possible

Hope yours recovers as well George

I hope that does the trick, George. Let us know how she goes.

Still not looking great today but still alive and eating. His wattle is white and he was happy to have a few peanuts but then sits ruffled up.

Eucalyptus leaves boil them for 12 minutes in 1 ltr of water, drain and left to go cold. Then put in the drinker, this will clean your birds out and be good for the Respiratory system..

Thanks mate. I always used to give pigeon tea once a week on a Sunday after a race. Haven’t done that since coming back into the sport. Do you think this would work as I do have a box in the cupboard.
